Here at Oneplanet Adventure, we take great care of our Demo Fleet as we see it as a key feature of our shop and what we have to offer. We only choose the best and most suitable bikes for our trails and what we offer in the UK. The bikes in the demo fleet don't normally stay the full season as they are always up for sale. This means you could be getting a bike that has been in the fleet for only a couple of months. Each time it comes back it gets washed and repaired if need be and put back to a showroom standard as they sit on our shop floor if they're not out on demo, we always take pride in our Demo Fleet.

With every demo or hire of a bike from Oneplanet Adventure, an Invisiframe kit is fitted to the bike at no extra cost. This can prevent stone chips, cable rub, leaning on other bikes, and overall wear and tear. Making the frame look as good as new for longer (Each piece can be replaced if damaged)

With every bike sale offer our all NEW Bike Sale Packages:

  • Customer Rewards Scheme
  • Free trail set up session
  • 30% off any of our skills courses
  • Free full suspension bike hire for a friend or family to use within 12 months
  • Free set of gear cables and an OPA mudguard
  • 25% off your first in-house fork and shock service
  • Free 1st Service - Health Check
  • Referral Reward when a friend or family buys a bike

Please Note: If stated as a ‘Current Demo Bike’ this means it’s still in action, once we receive the order for the bike. This automatically gets retired and it then goes into the workshop to get refurbished. Any excessively worn parts will be replaced at no extra cost and the bike will be ready to rock.

Being an Offical Demo Centre, your warranty will begin from the day of invoice.

OUR ENGINEERS’ GREATEST HITS

Not all frames are created equal. Hightower represents Santa Cruz’s greatest hits, showcasing our design, engineering, and performance prowess.

LOWER LINK ASSEMBLY

The highly-sculpted and optimizedLower Link(A) houses a geometry adjustingFlip Chip(B) and beefyPivot Axles (C) to virtually eliminate lateral flex.

UPPER LINK ASSEMBLY

We only use the highest qualityEnduro MAX or TPX sealed, radial bearings(A) andpremium fasteners(B) for our linkage assemblies. They’re easy to properly torque and maintain, plus we offer free replacement bearings for life.

ONE-PIECE SWINGARM

VPP suspension utilizes a one-piece swingarm that eliminates the need for pivots on the stays, creating a stout, bulletproof rear end for accurate tracking and superior performance.

C AND CC CARBON

Santa Cruz offers two grades of carbon—top-end CC Carbon and value-minded C Carbon. Though they have the same stiffness and performance, CC is lighter and comes paired with more premium suspension.

CARBON MASTERY

TheSag Window(A),Glovebox(B) andinternal cable tunnels(not shown) demonstrate Santa Cruz’s expertise at combining practical function with carbon design and manufacturing artistry.

THE SUM OF THE PARTS

In isolation, all these things are great—together with fanatical suspension tuning, a premium build spec, and a meticulous attention-to-detail, they’re transcendent.
